Using the Project-based Facilities

If you are working on a JCL application, and you want to run it in a JCL-enabled enterprise server, you need to stop and start the enterprise server. You can do this from outside the IDE, with the Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA) running in its own browser window, or from within the IDE. Stopping and starting with in the IDE is likely to be more convenient, since you don't need to switch between windows.

To stop and start within the IDE, you need to associate the current project with an enterprise server. You must use an enterprise server that:

• Is defined on your machine
• Is enabled for MSS and JES
• Has two system services:
  • One with a service class of "MF ES".
  • One with a service class of "MF JES"
• All new servers that you create as MSS servers automatically have these services. If you want to use an existing server, you need to enable it for MSS (if not already enabled), then add the services.

Once you have associated the project with an enterprise server, you can:

• Start the server associated with the project
• Stop the server associated with the project
• View the catalog
• View the spool queues
• Submit a job to the server associated with the project; make sure you have built the project first
• Debug a job

Be careful not to mix different ways of starting and stopping servers; if you start a server from the IDE, you must stop it from the IDE.
